Professional Wine Ratings

Professional wine ratings are scored by the groups listed below. These ratings are based on a 100-point scale and are entered into the WineLog database by users like you.

The problem with professional wine rating systems is that the score of the wine depends on the person doing the rating. So, while you may use these professional ratings as some indication of the wine's quality, we urge you to place more weight on the WineLog five-star rating, if available, as it is an average measure of the general public's impression of that wine.

96-100, Extraordinary; 90-95, Outstanding; 80-89, Barely above average to very good

Wine & Spirits

Nose: Very good and zesty with great zippy citrus and lots of herby green notes that remind me of a Marlborough Sauv Blanc, not a standard simple Italian Pinot Grigio.

Palate: This is a wonderful Pinot Grigio! Jeff said that the mountain setting of the vineyard that makes this Pinot Grigio so much more complex than the usual Italian style. The outstanding fruit and aromas in the nose make a wonderful palate with a little more body than your average Grigio, as well. Good stuff. Favorite wine of the tasting.
